Features: This book is suitable for adult education students at various levels in medical colleges and universities, as well as serving as a reference tool for practicing medical, laboratory, and epidemic prevention professionals. It can also be used as a study guide for the National Medical License Examination and postgraduate entrance examinations. Professor Wu Yimou, Director of the Institute of Pathogenic Biology at South China University and a leading expert in the field, serves as the Chief Editor of Medical Microbiology. The editorial team, which participated in compiling this textbook, consists of key figures in teaching and research in this field, all with extensive experience in textbook development. Medical Microbiology is an essential foundational, bridging, and applied course for clinical majors and a compulsory subject in various medical education programs. The book is divided into three parts—Introduction, Bacteriology, Mycology, and Virology—with a total of 36 chapters. This textbook fully reflects its ideological, scientific, logical, applicability, and novelty, ensuring content breadth, depth, and difficulty that align with five-year undergraduate textbooks. Considering that the primary audience consists of specialized students and clinical medical personnel with a certain foundation in medical microbiology, the content is meticulously organized to enhance and deepen their understanding of the subject in a shorter period. Compared to previous editions, this textbook features the following:
1. Up-to-date Content: The general section on bacteriology now includes chapters on bacterial drug resistance, its formation mechanisms, prevention and control strategies, and hospital-acquired infections. The virology section has been expanded to include chapters on coronaviruses. Since the biological status of "prions" is yet to be fully determined, they have been included in the "Other Viruses" chapter.
2. Concise and Clear Text with Illustrations: The language is concise, accompanied by over 80 photographs and line drawings, making it easy to understand and remember.
3. Strong Emphasis on Integration of Basic and Clinical Knowledge: The focus is on the main biological characteristics, pathogenic mechanisms, clinical manifestations, laboratory diagnosis, and specific prevention and treatment of pathogenic microorganisms.
4. Clear Focus: Each chapter lists key points in an outline format, along with review questions. Answers are provided at the end of the book to help students grasp the essentials during self-study and review.
5. High Practicality: The content is designed to align with the teaching syllabus for five-year undergraduate medical microbiology and the National Medical License Examination. Additionally, each chapter includes updates and new content to facilitate future review for exams and preparation for postgraduate studies.
